Founded by an experienced Oracle transformation leader

Paul brings more than 25 years of consulting and delivery experience spanning EY/Capgemini, systems integration, client-side leadership and independent assignments. His career has covered hands-on programme delivery through to Programme and Delivery Director leadership.
Paul Staves FCMA CGMA
Experience across programme delivery and leadership.
His work has involved leading complex programmes and delivery organisations in demanding environments, including a $20m+ Oracle programme portfolio, a 150+ person delivery organisation and global Oracle transformation spanning more than 200 countries and territories.
That breadth matters because difficult programmes rarely fail for one reason. Technology, operating model, governance, commercial relationships, leadership decisions and delivery discipline all interact. Effective intervention requires experience across those boundaries and the ability to make the complex clear.
How we work
Calm, direct and practical.
The role of an independent adviser is to improve the quality of decisions and delivery, not to add noise or dependency.
Evidence-led
Views grounded in delivery reality, tested against what the programme can demonstrate.
Practical
Recommendations designed to support decisions, ownership and action, rather than sit on a shelf.
Complex programmes need clear thinking, experienced judgement and the confidence to address difficult issues early.
Work with us
Start with the programme, not a sales pitch.
A first conversation is an opportunity to understand the context, pressure points and decisions ahead.
